FUNDRAISING EVENTS/ OPPORTUNITIES In 2021 we reimagined the Islesboro Crossing to become the statewide, month-long Cross For LifeF light. Participants can choose where, when, and how they want to "Cross" for Life- Flight, and then share their photos and "tracks" on an interactive portal. While significant revenue is generated from peer-to-peer fundraising outreach, we also make it easy for donors to directly support the event. We welcome support from sponsors and offer great packages based on true partnerships. Although the event does not currently include an in-person, synchronous component, we hope to partner with other organizations to create that in future years. From 2013- 2020, the event generated $2,040,000 in revenue which was a critical component in bringing two new helicopters to Maine in the winter of 2020/2021. GIVING OPPORTUNITIES We have a year-long, annual giving campaign and a robust memorial giving program. Most donations from these efforts allow us to allocate funds to the area of greatest need; the flexibility this offers is important. Our annual Cross For LifeFlight and Emergency Care Open golf tournament in the summer attract participants, spon- sors, GIKS, and volunteers. Since LifeF light transports one patient every four hours, many busi- nesses in Maine have an employee, family member, or customer who benefits from our service. is often is the catalyst for a one-time or annual company-wide donation. Every year we raise funds for capital projects, such as aircraft, infrastructure, and medical equipment, as well as for crew and state-wide critical care edu- cation which is an integral component of LifeFlight. VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES One unfortunate result of the pandemic for LifeFlight and other organizations around the state is that it forced us to limit our volunteer opportunities. We hope that in the coming months and years we can again come together for in-person events, which are great oppor- tunities for volunteer support. We do a great deal of outreach to Maine municipalities when we ask for support each year, so are developing a plan for crew members, patients, and advocates to play a more active role in helping us make these presentations at town and budget committee meetings. We welcome and encourage the ideas of anyone who would like to work with us!
